| Discovery Notes | Collected Soil Sample from (32.6977690, -97.2381573), in the outskirts of Fort Worth. The weather was cloudy and cold since it had snowed the day before. The temperature ranged between 31°F and 48 °F. A sample of topsoil was collected outside of a residential area, near some trees and other vegetation. Because of this, the sample contained a large amount of organic material. |
| Naming Notes | Gluttony, derived from the Latin word gluttire meaning "to gulp down or swallow". In Christianity, it's one of the seven deadly sins meant to describe over-indulgence and overconsumption of food, drink, or wealth. Given the fact that at the end of its life cycle bacteriophages kill the host they were in, I found it to be a fitting name for it. |
